My heart is in the land
I'm lost here in the city
There's so much I don't understand
There's quiet desperation comin' over me
Comin' over me
I've got to leave I can't stay another day
There's an emptiness inside of me
I can't bear the loneliness out here
There's another place I've got to be
I long for you Dakota
Smell of sweet grass on the plain
I see too much meanness
And I feel too much pain
There's quiet desperation comin' over me
Comin' over me
I've got to leave I can't stay another day
There's an emptiness inside of me
I can't bear the loneliness out here
There's another place I've got to be
My soul is in the mountains My heart is in the land I'm lost here in the city There's so much I don't understand There's quiet desperation comin' over me Comin' over me I've got to leave I can't stay another day There's an emptiness inside of me I can't bear the loneliness out here There's another place I've got to be I long for you Dakota Smell of sweet grass on the plain I see too much meanness And I feel too much pain There's quiet desperation comin' over me Comin' over me I've got to leave I can't stay another day There's an emptiness inside of me I can't bear the loneliness out here There's another place I've got to be Explain Request ×
